The first assignment that we were required to complete for this semester was a photo story. A photo story is a story told through photographs. It consists of a collection of photographs often accompanied by a short commentary, that tells a story.
To successfully complete this assignment there were certain requirements that we had to meet. The minimum requirements for this assignment are as follows:
1. Create/import/capture/scan a minimum of 20 photo images and then modify some of these images with Picnik and/or Splashup online.
2. Using Photo Story 3, create a photo slideshow containing these photo images with captions and titles, narration, motion animation and transition effects, and music.
3. Burn a data CD including your Photostory .wmv file with a CD burning software like InfraRecorder, Nero or Roxio.
4. Upload the video file to your Dropbox.com account. Be sure to name your video file in this format (i.e., johndoe-assign1.wmv) before uploading. Then, post the URL of your video file from your Dropbox to Assignment 1 Forum of IT 644 Social Network. In addition, submit your CD to the instructor before the class on September 14.
As I began creating my photo story I decided to use two tools. The tools that I chose were Picnik and Windows Movie Maker. To edit the pictures I used Picnik. In editing the pictures I made a variety of changes such as, adding frames, text and graphics. Once I was done editing the pictures I saved them to my computer and uploaded them into Windows Movie Maker, which I used to organize the pictures, add music and create the final photo story.
Due to my previous experience using Windows Movie Maker completing this assignment was fairly easy. I also enjoyed using Picnik, which I had never used before. The changes that I was able to make to the pictures using Picnik were drastic. Both of these tools are easy to use would be great for students in grades 5 -12.

I agree with you I like editing my pictures in Picnik but using Photo Story is much easier than Movie Maker you could have arranged your pictures the same way using Photo Story. Jesus is the center of my joy!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI love family photo stories and you have shared some of yours this semester. You did a good job on changing your photos, especially the pixeliation on the two of you. Thank you for sharing. I will most certainly use this in the future.
